HI,
This is the 3rd year I apply AMERCIAN OPPORTUNITY CREDIT. Everything is almost same as last 2 years.But TURBOTAX told me "YOU CAN'T CLAIM AN EDUCATION TAX BREAK. HERE IS WHY YOU MAY NOT QUALIFY:
1.YOUR SPOUSE WAS A NONRESIDENT ALIEN WHO DID NOT ELECT TO BE TREATED AS A RESIDENT ALIEN.
(I and my child are resident same as last 2 years.so I think it is not a reason.)
2,SOMEBODY ELSE CAN CLAIM YOU AS A DEPENDENT ON THEIR RETURN.
(I selected "NO ONE ELSE WILL CLAIM ME AS A DEPENT ON THEIR RETURN" same as last 2 years.It's not a reason)
3.THERE WERE NO NET QUALIFIED EDUCATION EXPENSES.
(I input 1099-T box 1 ,same as last 2 years)
I wonder why this year I can't claim this credit.Could you kindly help me to claim this credit?
thank you!
Emily
